Patent EP-1300833-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MALAH DAVID
IPC: G10L21/02
Filed: 2002-10-04
Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for extending the bandwidth of a
narrowband signal such as a speech signal. The method applies a parametric approach
to bandwidth extension but does not require training. The parametric representation
relates to a discrete acoustic tube model (DATM). The method comprises computing
narrowband linear predictive coefficients (LPCs) from a received narrowband speech
signal, computing narrowband partial correlation coefficients (parcors) using recursion,
computing  M nb    area coefficients from the partial correlation coefficient, and
extracting  M wb    area coefficients using interpolation. Wideband parcors are computed
from the  M wb    area coefficients and wideband LPCs are computed from the wideband
parcors. The method further comprises synthesizing a wideband signal using the
wideband LPCs and a wideband excitation signal, highpass filtering the synthesized
wideband signal to produce a highband signal, and combining the highband signal with
the original narrowband signal to generate a wideband signal. In a preferred variation
of the invention, the  M nb    area coefficients are converted to log-area coefficients for
the purpose of extracting, through shifted-interpolation,  M wb    log-area coefficients.
The  M wb    log-area coefficients are then converted to  M wb    area coefficients before
generating the wideband parcors.

least one metal spring (34). The metal spring (34) may be a coil spring (34A) or a leaf
spring (34B), and may be prestressed in compression or tension. To restrict the lateral
relative movement between the rim (10) and the disc (20), a pair of stopper ribs (31, 32)
are disposed on opposite sides of the spring unit (30), or an axial movement stopper (62)
is disposed at axially outboard end of the wheel.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé efficace pour survoler des images parmi des éléments stockés en mémoire, comme par exemple une bibliothèque (92) d'images ou des fenêtres de bureau, consistant à disposer les images (24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 52, 54, 56, 58, et 60 ; 116, 120, 122, 124 et 138) en superposition partielle et à générer une image de deuxième niveau (64) pour chaque image superposée sur laquelle un curseur (34 et 62 ; 140) manipulé par un utilisateur est pointé. Cette image de deuxième niveau est une image 'transitoire' qui disparaît dès que le curseur n'est plus pointé sur l'image de premier niveau correspondante. Ainsi, si les images de premier niveau sont disposées en pile s'étendant en diagonale, un mouvement rectiligne du curseur déclenche une présentation séquentielle d'images transitoires pour les images de la pile. Dans un mode de réalisation, l'affichage comprend également une icône d'incrémentation (68) et une icône de décrémentation (70) servant à fournir des piles de remplacement. Par ailleurs, une image de troisième niveau (82) est formée dans une fenêtre séparée (76) lorsque l'utilisateur sélectionne l'une des images de la pile. Cette image de troisième niveau est plus durable car elle reste dans la fenêtre d'affichage une fois que la pile a été remplacée. Les images peuvent être des photographies numériques, mais d'autres applications sont envisageables.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif permettant la production d'oxygène élémentaire ou l'augmentation de sa concentration dans l'air que respire un utilisateur. Selon le procédé, de l'eau est décomposée en hydrogène et en oxygène élémentaire grâce à de l'énergie électrique (électrolyse), l'oxygène élémentaire est mélangé à l'air respiré et l'hydrogène est mélangé à l'air extérieur pour être à nouveau converti en eau (réaction à combustible). Selon l'invention, la décomposition de l'eau en hydrogène et en oxygène élémentaire et la conversion en eau de l'hydrogène avec l'air extérieur, au cours desquelles se met en place un cycle réactionnel, se déroulent de manière simultanée et continue et sont couplées l'une à l'autre, l'énergie électrique produite lors de la conversion étant utilisée pour limiter les besoins en énergie de la décomposition. A cet effet, un électrolyseur, destiné à la décomposition de l'eau en hydrogène et en oxygène élémentaire, et une pile à combustible servant à la conversion en eau de l'hydrogène avec l'air extérieur, sont reliés électriquement et de manière à permettre l'acheminement de fluides.

Introduced because of low voltage power supply typically found in low-power
devices such as portable cellular phones. In addition to improving
the linearity performance, the new design also provides good matching
between I and Q signals, and decreases the switching noise in the active
mixer by reducing the switching current. The invention can be applied to

Abstract: A true/false judgment on a result of speech recognition is
made with high accuracy using a less volume of processing. By
comparing acoustic models (HMMsb) against the feature vector
sequence V(n) of utterances, a recognition result (RCG) specifying
the acoustic model (HMMsb) having the maximum likelihood, a first
score (FSCR) indicting the value of the maximum likelihood, and
a second score (SSCR) indicating the value of the second highest
likelihood are found. Then, by comparing an evaluation value (FSCR)
× (FSCR - SSCR) based on the first score (FSCR) and the second score
(SSCR) with a pre-set threshold value (THD), a true/false judgment
on the recognition result (RCG) is made. When the recognition result
(RCG) is judged as being true, speaker adaptation is applied to
the acoustic models (HMMsb), and when the recognition result (RCG)
is judged as being false, speaker adaptation is not applied to the
acoustic models (HMMsb). It is thus possible to improve the accuracy
of speaker adaptation. 
     Robust speaker adaptation which remains unsusceptible to
influences of background noises is achieved. Initial acoustic
models Mc are stored in advance in a speaker adapted model storing
section, and a noise adapting section (13) generates noise adapted
models Mc' by applying noise adaptation to the initial acoustic
models Mc pre-stored in the speaker adapted model storing section.
A speaker adaptation parameter calculating section (14) generates
speaker adaptation parameters P based on the noise adapted models
Mc' and a feature vector sequence V (n) of utterances from the speaker, 
and a acoustic model updating section (15) generates speaker adapted
models Mc" by applying speaker adaptation processing to the initial
acoustic models Mc using the speaker adaptation parameters P. The
initial acoustic models Mc are replaced with the speaker adapted
models Mc" so as to be updated and newly stored in the speaker adapted
model storing section (11). At the time of speech recognition, the
noise adapting section (13) generates speaker adapted models Mreg
adapted to noises by applying noise adaptation to the updated and
newly stored speaker adapted models Mc" instead of the initial
acoustic models Mc. Then, aspeech recognition section (19) performs
speech recognition by comparing sequences formed by the speaker
adapted models Mreg adapted to noises against the feature vector
sequence V(n) of utterances to be recognized.

Abstract: A display device capable of preventing erroneous
discharge and improving the quality of display. The display
panel has a unit light-emitting area formed at the
intersection of row and column electrodes which is
structured by a first discharge cell and a second discharge
cell having a light absorbing layer at a side close to a
front substrate and a secondary-electron emitting material
layer at a side close to a back substrate. While applying a
scanning pulse having a polarity to place the column
electrode in low potential to one row electrode of a row
electrode pair, a pixel data pulse having a voltage
commensurate with pixel data is applied to the column
electrode, thereby selectively causing address discharge
within the second discharge cell. With this structure,
because the column electrode within the second discharge
cell acts as a cathode relative to the row electrode,
secondary electrons are to be emitted favorably from the
secondary-electron emitting material layer formed within
the second discharge cell, thus positively causing address
discharge.
